DIY Gamer Kit

While reading some tech news, I came around this kit:

It is not bad, actually it is quite interesting but...75 pounds??

8x8? It couldn't be tinier.
Still pretty cool though, but I can't see many games for it.

That's why I'm still surprised when people tell me Gamebuino is to expensive... when you know an Arduino is 25€ haha. But 100€ for an 8x8 LED matrix seems a little too much to me, it's not even soldered. But ok, it's in a pretty box, so that's alright

Yep I noticed the pretty box, the visual marketing around it is probably responsible for the price.
75 pounds+shipping would be too much for me for what that gives.

I can make nice boxes for the Gamebuino, then Rodot can sell it for 75 Euros. Haha!

I can add cool art to it and then Rodot can push 200 pounds!

Add a seal of quality, and then we're talking!

I have one DIY Gamer Kit. Sure, it is really expensive! I used it to learn a little better programming
